We remember walking down the aisle of quilts and stopping at this quilt because the colors caught our attention. Cheryl Olson's quilt, Ananda at Last, brings back the beautiful colors that surround us in Fall. Take a look outside. Alex did and it reminded her of this quilt.

Along with being a Quilt teacher and Author, Gail is the founder of Hawks Aloft, a rescue organization that cares for and educates the public about birds of prey that can no longer live in the wild due to injuries. Gail brought along three owls to visit the studio. They watched as she shared her method of using a flexible curve ruler, a pencil, and freezer paper to create a free-form drawing for making curved flying geese. She also has tips for eliminating waste when foundation paper piecing and for removing the foundation paper.

Also in this show, Ricky was in Paducah when an antique quilt caught his attention. The quilt featured a variation on an Irish Chain. He breaks down that quilt into workable strip sets and creates an updated contemporary version.

Star Members can watch Gail and her owls in Show 2111: Working with Curved Flying Geese and Foundation Paper Piecing & Creating a Contemporary Antique Quilt when it debuts Sunday, November 19, 2017.
